Coefficients measure difference in absolute percentage methylation. The “All Assays Combined” columns display the data from all assays and tissues are combined, the rest of the table displays the data resulting from associations analyzed separately for each assay. Coefficient for placenta weight, vitamin B12, homocysteine, macronutrients and stress score represents difference in mean methylation for a 1 standard deviation increase in the corresponding factor. Central cord insertion indicates central vs. non-central (peripheral and velamentous) insertion. *Coefficients with P-values less than 0.05. Confidence intervals are shown in Table S3.
